Jordan fuel supply crisis amid falling oil price - 18 Nov 08

2008-11-22T00:56:34Z

In the struggling global economy, the falling price of oil should come as good news for consumers.

But in Jordan, petrol station owners continue to feel the pain. Without government subsidies to protect their profits, they're now being forced to sell petrol at a loss. And it's pushing some of them out of business.

Poverty despite petrol in Yemen - 18 Nov 07

2008-10-22T09:29:49Z

Surrounded by a host of oil-rich nations, Yemen barely makes it into the world's top 30 oil producers - yielding just 380 thousand barrels a day.

That makes it the lowest oil producer of all the Arab countries.

But many Yemenis are convinced that their country's oil wealth isn't being distributed fairly, and that's led to claims of corruption.

Hashem Ahelbarra reports from Sana'a.

Terry Tamminen - Impacting America's "Oil Addiction"

2008-10-15T03:31:18Z

Complete program at: fora.tv

Author and former head of the California EPA Terry Tamminen describes impacts individuals can have on reducing oil consumption.

-----

Terry Tamminen on "Lives Per Gallon: The True Cost of Our Oil Addiction."

A special advisor to Governor Schwarzenegger, former head of the California EPA, and co-founder of The Riverkeeper Alliance with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, Terry Tamminen explores the price we pay for each fill up at the pump: the health care costs, government subsidies, economic costs, and environmental devastation, plus the wars and backhanded dealings all to keep our supplies pumping. Tamminen points out that we've made a deal with the devil to stay supplied - but it's time for that to stop, just as our oil reserves will in the next thirty to fifty years. Using tobacco-style litigation against oil and auto industries, Tamminen proposes to use the legal proceeds to help pay for the switch to hydrogen fuel cell energy within a decade, just as California efforts to do just that are beginning - Cody's Books

In the summer of 2003, Terry Tamminen helped Arnold Schwarzenegger win the historic recall election and become Governor of California. He became Secretary of the California Environmental Protection Agency in November 2003 and was promoted to Cabinet Secretary, Chief Policy Advisor to the Governor, in December 2004.
